Antwerp declaration

'We need to refocus on principles of sustainability, reclaim the notion of value and expand collaborations.'

The EU ES conference aimed to leave a legacy and create a statement of intent regarding ecosystem services. Therefor, we drafted the Antwerp declaration on the bases of the input of the conference participants. Over 120 conference participants replied to the Antwerp Declaration survey on which the final declarationtext was based. The conference offered a platform for further discussion.

We invite you to show your support for the Antwerp Declaration by reading and signing it, and most importantly to call for action to realise the transformative potential of the ecosystem services framework.
